Acupuncture is considered very safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner. The needles used are extremely thin, sterile, and designed for single use only.
Most patients feel little to no pain during treatment. Some may experience a slight tingling or warm sensation, which is often a sign that the therapy is working.
Side effects are minimal and may include:
- Mild redness or soreness at the needle site
- Temporary fatigue or relaxation
👉 Serious complications are extremely rare, making acupuncture a reliable and low-risk treatment option.
